That is a good attitude! Collecting fabric is so much more fun than collecting stamps. If I were to use some of my plate block stamps, I would not have room on the envelope for the address. Now my fabric is always usable, if the color is a bit dated, I can still use it and call it retro or in some cases vintage. lol

So WHY does everybody expect me to use my fabric collection to actually SEW anything?!!
I'm not a fabriholic; I'm a fabric collector!

The love of fabric, well, I'm not sure where that came from!
